Life is made for living...faith first, family close second...jobs &/or careers are made for changing to fit life and family needs...always do your best!! Blissfully happy married to my best friend, Dan, the most patient and understanding man on the planet. Proud to be 'Mom' to the little guy (who is now taller than me). The Odin Arts Cooperative opened officially in July of 2003, the website is up, check it out. I am a founding member, and hope that if any of you get around to the Coulee Region for the great spring creek fly fishing (or pike on the fly in the Mississippi River backwaters), you'll check out the gallery at 507 Main St, La Crosse. We have several dozen Member Artists and growing... Also, check out my sister's website sometime, (she did all of her website design & stuff on her own, she's the one who understands how all of this computer stuff works) especially if you enjoy Arabian or Saddlebred horses...www.showhalters.com (will be back to full function soon, she, like me, has been busy with helping Mom & dealing with the tornado damage repairs)

Currently; Carpenter, RN (specialities in gerontology and cardiac), Artist, Ski Instructor (And 20 years ago you would have found me out on the highways as a Trooper with the Wisconsin State Patrol.)
